💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use a mod manager to convert it, as the original was made for Oldrim.

- Since it's a texture/mesh mod, load order doesn't matter much, but ensure it's not overwritten by other texture mods for Fort Dawnguard.
